How To Run, by Scott F. Parker

Send us Fan Mail Giving an overview of this book is complicated. It’s like giving an overview of what running is… where do you start? What kind of running are we talking about? Trail? Road? Ultrarunning? This book is also misnamed because it won’t teach you how to run. You likely need to already be a runner and have opinions about running for it to speak to you. The short answer is that this book is a collection of poems and short essays about running. Most of them express Scott’s love for running, but there are also a few “rants” in there for those that like some controversy. Scott F. Parker is the author of The Joy of Running qua Running, Run for Your Life: A Manifesto, Running after Prefontaine, and the picture book Run for Fun. His work has appeared in Runner's World, Running Times, and many other publications. He writes the On the Run series for Sport Literate.
